There are hundreds, if not thousands of vampire movies made every day… no seriously, there are too many to count! Some are good, some are bad. Some the vampires are perfect beings who are beautiful and glitter in the sun. Some stay more true to the myth that sunlight burns/destroys them. Basically what I’m trying to say is there is a vampire movie for everyone’s taste. I’ve already found my favorite of all time, From Dusk Til Dawn. Plus I recently purchased my second favorite, Let Me In. So why I decided to check out a friend’s NOT recommendation about a vampire movie she recently saw is well beyond my comprehension. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, maybe Adrian Paul as a British vampire peaked my interest. Either way, I spent 90 minutes of my life watching The Breed, from 2001.

I thought I was lucky to be able to say that I was the viewer of a great 80’s supernatural slasher movies that took place in a health club after watching Witch Bitch (aka Death Spa). Well everyone… I can now say that I am the proud viewer of TWO great 80’s slasher films that take place in a health club. If you’ve read this site for a while, you know how I love my 80’s slasher flicks, and this is no exception.

There’s Riggs and Murtaugh, Tango and Cash, even Turner and Hooch, but now you can add Bigelow and Mortis to the long list of cop movie buddies – only this time in the action/comedy/horror genre. In Dead Heat, Detectives Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) and Doug Begelow (Joe Piscopo) get called to the scene of a jewelry store robbery in progress, where they find a couple of thugs that can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’. These guys are soaking up bullets but they don’t seem to be adversely effected by being pumped full of lead. After Mortis gets the bright idea to just take them down with a cop car, they find some startling information about these crooks once the coroner get’s a chance to examine them. They’ve been to the morgue before, and not just for a sight seeing tour – they were admitted as stiffs just a short time earlier and were given the full service treatment, autopsy and all. So, if these guys are dead… how were they able to attempt a jewelry store robbery?

As I get older, I realize the importance of getting healthy and keeping in shape. When looking for a gym or health spa, you want to look for the quality of the staff, equipment, and the extra services that they provide. The last thing you’ll probably think to check out is to see if the place is haunted. That’s the problem that they’re having at the Starbody Health Spa. People are getting hurt and it’s either ghosts that are hurting the patrons, or the high tech computer system that controls everything is becoming self aware and taking out all the paying customers. Or… They may just be dealing with a Witch Bitch.
